Even Manikin, who as far I'm aware have no "previous" with Martin  and 
John, had the decency to avoid any marketing conflicts. 
Apart from the obvious play on words, the Memotron can sit alongside  the 
real deal as a genuine alternative for those who need an ultra portable  
sound alike machine. It doesn't even look like a tron! (Or sound like one, I  
hear some say) but it's close enough for certain applications.
What has happened here is a blatant attempt to cash in on someone elses  
success in bringing a brilliantly engineered and wonderful sounding instrument 
 to the world market. There is no doubt in my mind that it is intended to 
"trick"  those who use search engines to look for info on the M4000 to 
provide the  searchers with info on Marcus's machine.
Tacky, very tacky.
